Every once in a while, we all go back to that dish that reminds us of home, whether it be from being a kid or something that's a flashback of the good ol' days. Calling Racine County our home, we don't have to go too far to have a taste of something that warms your heart.
Here are our favorite places that their food doesn't go to your stomach, it goes to your soul.
